Sri Mahaperiyava was walking along the fields. Everyone were worried and requested Him to walk in the roadside as lot of thorns were in the pathway of the field. Sri Periyava didn’t listen.
Bombay Nagalakshmi mami (sister of Sri Ponds mama) an ardent devotee of Sri Periyava came for Darshan. Saw the plight of the devotees and Sri Periyava’s “Pidivatham”. Immediately she started “Anga Pradakshinam” in front of Sri Periyava in the field pathway so that the thorns wouldn’t hurt Sri Periyava. Sri Periyava immediately took the road side. Maanikavasagar Peruman’s “அழுதால் உன்னைப் பெறலாமே” seems very apt here…
Sri krishna gave up His vow not to hold weapon for the sake of His devotee Bhishmaacharya …Our Periyava gave up His “Pidivatham” for the sake of His devotee.
May be it is His leelai to show His devotee’s bhakthi to the world.

யானேபொய் என்நெஞ்சும் பொய் என்அன்பும்
பொய்
ஆனால் வினையேன் அழுதால் உன்னைப்
பெறலாமே
தேனே அமுதே கரும்பின் தெளிவே
தித்திக்கும்
மானே அருளாய் அடியேன் உனைவந்
துறுமாறே.
பொழிப்புரை :
இறைவனே! நானும் என் மனம் முதலியனவும் பொய்ம்மையுடையவர்கள் ஆனோம். ஆனால் அழுதால் உன்னைப் பெறலாமோ? தேனே! அமுதே! கரும்பின் தெளிவே! நான் உன்னைப் பெறும் வழியை எனக்கு அறிவித்தல் வேண்டும்.
